Looking good (Y)

Good to see your making the bike your own, I think grips should be next on your list!

Yeh the chrome rim is ground, thats my fault. For trials I just found chrome a bit impractical. Pads were tricky, Plaz CRMs and other smooth rim type pads worked pretty well but not amazingly, cousts gripped so well they tore them selves apart. After 5 mins riding with cousts I had green bits all over the rim and big rips in the pads. Grind orientated pads like bloxx just didn't work. If it was a dry day the chrome got dusty and stopped performing to trials level of hold and bite. If it got damp/wet you might as well just ride death grip the brake was so poor. I then ground it, and it holds a grind like a Mavic rim, which is great, awesome brake ensued.

The rim on the bike is the second chrome rim I ran, the first I ran for longer but suffered same problems as that, and with trials use the chrome wore through to copper coating in 4 months or so, so I ground that one too. I bought the chrome rim no this bike to try chrome again, alas it was just not right for trials.
